About

Unlike many of my law school peers, I didn’t always know I wanted to be a lawyer. While attending high school in Minnesota, I was a bit of an entrepreneur, starting and running my own car detailing and lawn care businesses. When I went back to my home state of Wisconsin to start my undergraduate studies at UW-Madison, I followed in my brother’s footsteps and initially sought an engineering degree. After a year and a half of studying, however, I realized my true passions lied with the elective courses I took in psychology and social sciences; the classes that challenged me to see the world through different lenses and think creatively to find solutions to difficult problems. I immediately changed my major, pursued a career in the law, and never looked back.I represent my clients ethically, analytically, and empathetically. I understand when meeting a prospective client, it is often during the worst moments of his or her life, and I don’t take that lightly. Trials are rarely the desired answer, but in some cases, they are the only appropriate solution. That is why I focused my attention both during and after law school on litigation, client counseling, and negotiation, to ensure I had the tools necessary to best help my clients achieve their goals. When I moved to Iowa with my wife and our children in 2016, I joined a local general practice firm and continued to cultivate my skills in civil litigation and negotiation, representing clients in a variety of matters, from contempt proceedings to breaches of corporate fiduciary duty claims.My extensive experience in a wide array of legal areas, together with my practical, real-world knowledge and creative approach, gives my clients the trust that their matters are skillfully handled by a dedicated attorney who not only understands their legal needs, but has their best interests in mind. I know what it means to work hard for the most important things in your life. I feel quite privileged to use my passion for and knowledge of the law to help local Iowans navigate the confusing, emotionally charged, and often-adversarial legal system to get the justice they want and deserve.

Justin was very upfront from the beginning about what he could offer as representation, and how we would proceed with it. As any obstacle that occurred, he stayed in touch, and answered all questions adequately. The results ending up being what we set out to accomplish with this dissolution.

I was going through a custody battle and drug my feet on hiring an attorney due to the costs. After a lot of research, I went with Justin. I wish I had hired him from day 1. The best way to describe him is savage. He is no nonsense and right to the point with everything. He stood up for me and did not put up w the other side’s games. I ended up getting what I wanted out of the whole process because of him. I highly recommend him and I will be using him again if anything ever changes with my situation. Do not hesitate to work with Justin!

I hired Mr. Justin Riem for services I needed at the time based on reviews after doing research for the type of lawyer I needed. I was not dissappointed in the slightest, he did all I need and more. He always had my best interest in mind and kept me on track and involved as needed every step of the way.

I was happy with Justin’s work on my case. He was quick to answer my questions and to keep me informed of the progress of the case. I would highly recommend him to someone needing the services of an attorney.

Attorney Justin D. Riem worked on my case. If this man is not working on your case you should fear him. He has an extraordinary gift, he senses people, he takes time to understand you, your motives, your goals, and he will be at all times be upfront and honest with you. I came to him stressed, with a butt load of papers and drowned fully on uncertainty and completely powerless, surrounded by a web of lies that was the perception my ex-wife built with help of her attorney who sided on her lies vs understanding the overall picture. Justin took his time and worked with his team during extenuating hours dissecting, reading, understanding, putting a case together and along all that communicating with me. Short story, he turned my divorce around, he gave me back my little ones. Time and time again when I was thinking there was no turn around this man made it happen. I will be forever thankful by what he made happen and I will always continue referring people to him and his team. Needless to say he turned my case around at trial. He knew exactly how to approach, he knew exactly what points to make and he made my voice be heard.

I retained Justin Riem in my recent divorce case. I met with several attorneys in the area before I decided on Justin. I can honestly say, I hired the best of the best. My divorce was beyond complicated and contentious. Early in the case my children were taken from their home and moved to a different area of Iowa. Justin worked fast and diligently within the rules of the court system to have them brought home. He left absolutely no detail unturned to make sure the case would work to my advantage. My divorce was finalized in a manner that was amicable and the kids were back where they belonged with both parents. I have no doubts that this was because of the hard work and knowledge that Justin put into my case. Plain and simple, Justin is far and away one of the most, if not the most polished in his profession in the Cedar Rapids area

Justin was professional and knowledgeable as he assisted with my family law case. He helped me to navigate the Iowa court system from out-of-state. I felt confident in his ability to insure my requests were met.

Justin came highly recommended by another professional and I am really glad they did. Since this is my first time having to hire a lawyer he helped me through things that I have no idea about. He explained certain situations so I could better understand and provided the best guidance. He was very understanding and I thank him for doing a very good job.

Justin worked on his days off and made sure we were taken care of and represented fairly. Because of him my husband was able to adopt my daughter! Would use him over anyone else if I ever needed a lawyer again!!!
